My wifes computer hard drive crashed. It started a ticking noise and then wouldn't go past the windows loading screen. It would keep resetting to the bios screen. Wondering if there is anyone on her who knows their way around this sort of thing and thinks they can help or knows of a company that could help. We are willing to pay a reasonable amount if there is a way of getting some of the files off. Obviously we should have been backing the hard drive up regularly by hind site is always 20/20.
Thanks for any help anyone can lend. My brother claims to know a fair bit about computers and hooked it up as a slave drive to see if he could get anything off of it, but said he couldn't. He said if I could find the ext hard drive I had within a couple of months from the original manufacture date the platters could be changed over and that might work, but the likelyhood of finding a 4 year old hard drive would be pretty slim. I believe it is a 250 gb Western digital if that makes any difference.
Thanks again if anyone is able to help me. Wife has a bunch of graphic art stuff she hopes isn't lost forever.
